What am I eating sausages and just rubbing it on my mouth? I don't know. What's the last time you watched that caterpillar? Not this morning. Good point. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome you to Updick podcast episode 280. Today's episode is brought to you by Price Picks, Factor Meal, and the Bronson Egg and Cheese. Hold the dick and balls.

You heard? That's all. That's all my feed is covered with. Hold the, what are the dick of balls? I don't know. That's what the dude said as soon as he walked into that bodega to order the chopped cheese, the Bronson chopped cheese. I know that shit hits.

Yeah, about 100%. What's up? Are you going for New York or not? For the Knicks? I mean, I'm kind of not even tuned in. Who won last night? The Spurs. So it's 2-1?

Yeah. Was it a good game? Yeah. Very, very good game. Very, very good game. They've all been good. I feel like they've all been bangers. Yeah.

I haven't watched them, but I've like just, you know, tuned in a little bit. What else did they say? Watch a couple minutes here and there. Watch the four quarter? My bagels are, no, my mayor's Muslim. My bagels are Jewish. My Christian Dior, Nixon four. That's what they say?

Yeah, bro, I don't know if I've ever seen like a fan base turn up like that and sort of gain this like this like character or notoriety on around themselves like this. It's New York. Yeah, no. You put him a final. It's crazy. What's that? What's that one thing?

Bing Bong? Who is that? Yeah, remember Bing Bong. If you, if you're, if the dog's outside. What is it? I don't remember. I do remember the dog's in the yard. I'm inside going hard.

Yeah. Bing Bong. Yeah. So look, I think, I think it's, what I don't like that I have also been seeing in my feed is, is, is, what? What? I was just looking at all this shit this morning. They're like jumping Spruce fans and shit. Yeah, that's what I don't like.

She's like, yeah, we got one. Yeah, yeah. Like, I don't know if they're just trying to like fucking get them all scared and then they just let them go. Or they're like, take that fucking jersey off. And then like you start to do that shit. I get that. But I don't like when they're actually like beating up on people like that. No, I haven't seen that.

I don't think. No. They were just throwing, I thought. You can think what you want. What I have seen, okay, is people getting fucking knocked out. One guy wearing a spurs shirt wasn't even talking shit about basketball. He was saying, fuck, Lee. Fuck Liverpool.

Fuck West Ham. I won't say that. Fuck whatever. And then the dude, Knicks fan just fucking knocks him out. He didn't say, yeah, he didn't even say fuck the Knicks.

I didn't even see that. Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. I have not seen any physical altercations. Yeah, what was that girl say? Like, you think? Ew, no, that's ghetto. I don't think.

I can't believe people are fighting over sports. Bro, Trump shut the whole city down. People were fuming. Why, he shut the city? Because he went to the game. So they had to do like the most insane security measures. They built like a fence outside of MSG. I saw like a bit.

They shut the whole cell. They boot him. But they also clad for him. But Jude was there. Look, look. They were fucking them up. Oh, wait, she was there. Yeah, Jude was there right there.

Like, she was fucking mosh pitting. She went to the game or she was just, she went to the game. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. That's fire. Yeah. Look, look, look, they got beat him with a branch, yo. Like, pf, pf.

So, look, I understand. Beat him with a branch. I understand like two. Who the fuck is that? It's Deadpool. Bro. Dude, it's another world. It's so good.

Someone's got a branch. Some guys dressed up as a superhero. As I've been, as I said, right? Like, we got one. Two drunk dumbfugs from opposing teams fighting each other,

that's one thing. Two teams of two or three or four of different opposed. That's one thing. But when you're haunting down, people from the opposing, you know, the visitors just to fuck them up. I don't get down with that. You're just looking for a fine day.

Yeah, because what do you think is going to happen to your Knicks, to like your Knicks, you know, brotherhood when they go to San Antonio? The Knicks travel. You know what I'm saying? The Knicks are traveling to San Antonio. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What do you think is going to get fucked up too? Mob action is mob action.

So I just don't, are there like normal humans going to the Knicks game? Because to get in the door, it's like 5K. Like, is there like a normal? fans there or is everyone there just loaded? I saw someone. I don't know how much you spent on her ticket. They weren't playing. It's 5K just to get in. It was like, I think they dropped like

30,800 just to get in. 100%. 100%. 100%. It was $3,800 at its lowest to get in. You know if Jeter and Eli showed up together. Yeah. Yo, shout up my man, Josh Hart, man.

Holy shit, was he shooting yesterday? I can't go for the Knicks, though. You know? But shout out Josh You have to go for the Knicks Why? It's culture I mean just look at New York

Because of culture I'm not going for the Knicks Are you a Chicago fan right? Damn you're Hayden No I'm not hating But I just not going for him I hope that Josh Hart has more good games Derek Jeter

Corside I haven't seen that Right He doesn't Yeah Jeter popped out The captain usually doesn't pop out That's what Nah The captain pops out

You know shit's going down Yeah number two Derek Jita Nick's gave three cent of points 8,000 with a lower bowl price of 11,000 the get-in price later dropped to four

Wow goodness gracious Someone on court side Someone dropped a million dollars on tickets I think it was two tickets on Celebrity Row for a million Yeah It's different out there man That's abherent

A million dollars to go to a game One game you wouldn't do it are you fucking even if you didn't feel it I wouldn't pay a million dollars do a lot of things if you didn't feel it might be different

like if you're a JZ and you got a billion you might do it okay now I'm a simplified it for you okay Seth would you pay 100,000 to sit courts like no if you wouldn't feel that no but if you had a billion you would though like for your team I mean billions different

like it's a million it's a million exactly a lot of the a thousand billion's different a billion's different no yeah 300 million Have you ever seen those scale videos where it's like breaking down a million compared to a billion? A bee is, there's bees on the table.

Billion's different. I haven't seen that. But still, a million dollars? My feet is all Monaco. People at Monaco. Mark texted me said, I want to go to Monaco. I said we can't afford mine. We can't afford Mark. Everyone like all people at the racing shit in Monaco

those yachts. Motherfuckers live in different. It's baffling. It's just Oh yeah, look at that big one. Damn. It's literally a, who has the biggest yacht company? Yeah.

Look at that shit. Yeah. Swim over to your boys, yacht. That shit. Swim to get a heli because they're like way in the back. Nah, no heli's. Wing suit or something. You would rather attach a rocket to your back than to do a, to get in a heli?

Low key. What the heli? Watch the race from your yacht. Some people are just living a different. life. Yeah, but like, you know, most of, I mean, you got to think about what it takes to fucking play at that level.

Like, it can't be easy. A lot of depotism. That's what I'm saying. So, yeah. Those are the Nepot, the Nepo baby started living the life. Hell yeah. Come on, dad. Fuck you, dad.

I saw Neon's clip with some kid. Now you, dad. I don't know. They own like some betting game or some shit like that. And the kid had like 52 million in watches or something. He was showing neon all his watches. He's like crazy, like crazy. This guy versus Tappant, Monaco, DNF, it's only 500 meetings.

500 meters, I'm going home. How much, how much you think he's got? Max, they take a boat to the race? Like a buck. 100 mil? 100, yeah. Oh, what? I don't know.

How much, yeah, what's Max versus Tappan? Oh, he lives there. 100 mil, 200 mil. Do you think he's already at 200? Something silly. I don't do. Dude, F1 money is crazy. Yeah, no, yeah.

Well, you're literally risking your life every time you get out there. Like, it's not even a question if you fucking hit something. There's something off in your head if you're in $1,000. That's the ultimate thrill seeker. Look at Porter. Yeah, dude. Oh. Yeah.

I mean we had a long long weekend I was in Chicago I had a had a concert that I had That I wanted to go to I haven't seen this band ever in You know live and who was it Typical cats You were turned up

No I didn't go Wait what you Because at the sit when I landed I was told that one of my best friends from home Mike Kenny had a, had a rock, debut metal band at Dirty Nellys in Palatine. Oh, shit. You remember Dirty Nellies? Yeah.

So I went there and I saw him debut his band, Corium. What is this coming from? My eyes is love. That was the whole time. You went to Dirty Nellies? Yeah. Yeah. You let the hair hang down?

You were head banging? I was head banging. I was in the fucking Mosh Pellas. Yeah? Nah. But I did the right thing I did the right thing I went to go see my friend

Just do what he's very natural at apparently That I didn't know There's a fucking tank up there So Painted a little Had great food as usual But Food looked good

But you know I was watching my team the whole time The whole day you saw you I was in there the whole time You were in there the whole time Any downtime that I had Like where people were doing shit I was you know

I was watching the game I just It must have been all downtime Because you were in there all day Anytime I said Hector Bomey was in the chat Immediately bro I felt like Seth Just always on Twitch like the whole time Like just looking at the matches

Fuck man what a good tournament man What a good tournament We had a fucking insane run I thought you know We would look good all year And anybody who's calling for any heads to roll Roll your own head Okay

Get fuck out of here The Greenwald don't need you We stand strong Yes And right now the adversity isn't even that But but But Don't touch that

What is it? What are you pointing at? What fuck's going on over there? Oh, the... Just know that I keep it on me. I keep it all me. You know what this is, boss? The own 18 stage?

That's right. I keep it all me. I pull this out, right? Fucking nothing. You got to burn it again, break the second places. Riley, can you please make a note to order a break in case of emergency display thing for here? And then just say, for hex's use only? We went champs.

You see you have to with a little hammer, just ting. I'll make it happen again. Yeah, I think, I mean, I got a bunch of questions yesterday. Am I worried? I'm not worried at all, to be honest. I think the way I view these things is there are 10 teams we're clearly better than one team that has the slight edge over us right now, and that's a pretty good spot to be in with three tournaments left.

I mean, everyone's trying to peak basically now, Major four champs in EWC, I personally don't think there's much reason to panic yet. Ask me after EWC if I'm panicking and we can talk. We're getting second. But right now, we're knocking on the door of the best team in the game. We're a couple overload rounds away. I'm not really worried.

And people ask, it's like, what do they have to do to win? It's like they need to win. They need to get back to practice. One 50-50 goes our way. Yeah, it's... Maybe quotspon doesn't fucking happen in this one fucking game. No reason, no excuses. Just reasons.

here. Literally one team. The first seed's looking good though. But ain't that different? I thought there was only two tournaments left. And when you said three, I'm like, what the fuck? In the EWC, obviously. Yeah.

Obviously the cherry on top. Five more weekends, Akot. Five. That's it. And then vacation. Yeah, two online and then major champs and then EWC. Oh, my God. Can we make an agreement right now?

What? Watch, including Riley, watch party. Boy strip, wherever. You know this group isn't cool like that, bro. We could have went to the Stanley Cup. I got a bunch of nose. All right. I'm not talking to you guys about that right now either.

Did he have you have two? Yeah, I had all my friends. I would have gone if I didn't just spend fucking five days in Chicago. But again, you're asking. It's like, it's not about that. It's about the fact that we're 30 and we have the opportunity to do something sick. Three hour flight. We had a loss.

We had a ticket. We had an offer. We had an offer for Las Vegas nights versus Carolina Hurricanes. Game four, Lower Bowl, $600 a ticket. Those seats that we were offered are going for like 2 to 3K. $600 a ticket.

Vegas for one or two nights. It doesn't matter if you like the team or not. It's just something fun. It's something we can look back on and be like, yo, remember we went to Vegas for the Stanley Cup? Instead, you were in your bed scrolling. He didn't even reply to me. Hector was the only person that I think would have been down

if he didn't get back from Chicago. I asked Dahl Tush. I understand it was last. said no. Yeah. I almost went alone and then I'm like, I don't know if I want to roll out. Oh, so you didn't say it, but he got the one of the house. Well, he's hit me up like four or five times.

Every time I'm like, no, like, I ain't going. Not your team. But it is Mitch, dude. Yeah, it is Mitchie boy, but we're not going to get to see him. Yeah, I mean. A few hours later, Mitch Marner made it worth every penny by scoring the fastest hat trick in Stanley Cup final. Damn.

And he's having a fucking sick guy's game. Dude, he had a hat trick last game. I can't believe that. They're up four out. I turned the game off. And then Zinney texted me, he's like, it's 4-4. I was like, what? It's crazy how quick hockey he did.

That game was awesome. But I am down for a boys' watch party trip. Just know I'm in. To where? El Paso, let's go good. No, I'm out. I hate when he does this shit. Just like that.

Why? Let me ask you why, why? I want to go to a pool beach. A lot of other places I'd rather go. Yeah, like what? You've never been to El Paso. How do you know? Anywhere.

Miami? All right, down. Somewhere tropical. See, I don't know. Miss me with that. Miami, Cabo. Move my needle at all. You want to go somewhere tropical?

Sweat your ass off? Cabo? Yes. DR. PR. I'm good. I want to be on the beach. We can go to, uh, what's that place called everyone loves?

Caramel. Mexico City? Caramel by the sea. I've been, I've already been to Mexico. Let's go to San Diego. I'd be down to go to San Diego. That'd be a good, like, mix of foodie. Yeah, yeah.

I'd be a many people know about that, though. Carmel is low key. We should go to a farm tour in the Emerald Triangle. Napa go start sipping wines Yeah Wait was that Mitch

It's like a It's like a winery But we You know Oh yeah I'm down I'd be down for two hits Go in there Take my two

All right Yeah He said On vacation he says two But you know It's like the whole sash All right So let's talk

Call-Duty now that We've gone through that Things look great Yeah They gotta tip your hat And Niam is elevating It's starting to piss me off because Neum is like playing really good in general, but against us he's playing

even better and it's starting to piss me off. He's not actually pissed me off, but I'm just he's elevating against us. Hydra was a walking on water in that series by the way. That was probably the best. He said he's seen Hydra look. Two years. Two seasons definitely. Maybe we were maybe I was just a little focused on it but he was gliding bro. Hydra looks fantastic. Yeah no he played great. Yeah we just started slow. I mean we got dominated three. We win a nail bite or grid lock. Then the search kind of clicks. We win 6-2. Scar Overload was unfortunate spawn. There was an unfortunate spawn where

we definitely should have had a cap. And we kind of got bullshitted. But once again, I think as long as we ironed it up, especially overload for these upcoming tournaments, I'm not worried about our boys. Not at all. Yeah. How could you be

worried about it? How could you be worried about them? They're getting second, but it's like it's not like, yeah, the first couple maps definitely were bad. We got kind of slam. But it's like, dude, we are, we're right there every time. It's just, it's losing game sevens at the tournament. We're losing game sixes. We're not getting four-oed. No. No, literally what heck said, one 50-50 goes our way. Yeah. And also anybody, anybody who is surprised that the 100 thieves are doing this good just doesn't know ball. Like this is

everybody's fear at the beginning of that group of players getting together like me, it was a super team. I would call a super team. And finally, when they start acting like it, you're like, Oh my God, they've elevated. No, it's always been there. They just need to fucking click. Dude, I look at the board and I'm like, I like what I'm seeing. I'm seeing

Gentlemates Major 1, okay. Phase Peaks Major 2. Thieves is starting to peak, and it just makes me think maybe we're... It sounds like a fourth quarter team coming in this, right? A little fourth quarter crunch time action. I'm gonna knock on wood, of course, because I believe in that shit.

But... But, yeah, the boys, I mean... Dude, it's a two-teenth. team league right now. I am perfectly fine with that. Because I have faith Paris is going to be crazy. When it comes down to that champs, they're going to be ready. Paris is

going to be crazy. I can't be here five weekends left. And we leave in like, we leave in like two weeks. It's crazy how quick it creeps up on you. Because like the cod season, it's so like it's so segmented this year where it's like split two felt like it was forever. Like split two

was like what, six weekends of online cod. It was like 11 in matches every weekend. It felt like it goes forever. Now these last two are just like... Yeah, these back to back. It feels like, well, it feels like they're right back to back. But we're already halfway done with the last split. It's like, it feels like we just went to the major. And we're about to be on a plane over to Paris.

Yeah, Paris. I'm just curious how many per day tickets are sold. Like, I want to know if we're about to be in a arena but 15K. We are, we are. It'll be over 10K for sure. Well, everything's around the corner right there. So you think it's a pair of two hours from everywhere in Europe. So it's the most attended Call of Duty event in history. Ever.

Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. Very Avi. That's awesome. The energy in that room is about to be. Wait, do we know where we are, like, on the floor? I think we're in a suite. Oh, we're on a suite?

Yeah. It'll still be. Kind of like where... We'll still feel that. Like, think about our major and then think about where Tommy and Gotaga were, like, the top-down view. Maybe like Toronto. Hopefully we have a stage view. Nice.

Well, I looked at the arena, like, the pictures. I assumed it's going to be a center stage with the way that a range. with the way that arena is set up. It looks like it kind of has to be. Yeah, that's going to be awesome. I can't wait. I'm curious to see how certain teams play at the major. Like, gentlemen mates, I think is a question mark.

I think even with the addition of Joe, they're still not like knocking on the door of contending. Yeah. But now they have an extra two weeks of practice, right? Actually, no, they're banned from scrims for a week, actually. What's this, Riley? Our suite right there? Okay.

Should we just bring bunk beds? Yo. We're all relatt. Oh, we actually... Zins are banned in Paris. I don't know what I'm going to do. We totally only have Bowes. I don't know what I'm going to do.

You run back, baby. When in Paris, dude. Or chewing tobacco. That's your two options. No, smoke, man. Come on. I can't do all that. Camel crush.

So what are you going to do? Suppository? It's a good question. I don't know. I told them what to do. Needs, money signs. on his Instagram, so location. Well, they're watching right now.

Next thing you know, bloop, bloop, whatever their sirens sound like. It's not... Massive zin-luss. Yeah, there you go. It's we, we, we, we, we, we're going to be... Listen, if I'm in a bad mood, you'll know why. Let me tell you.

Pull over. I can't be ripping down bogs, dude. My lungs, there's no way. I don't even know. I haven't smoked a cigarette in a long. I can guarantee you. First night after dinner, after we're drinking. and you're buying a pack of bogs.

Dude, I'll have a pack of, I'll have my first cigarette in my life. It is vibey, though, in Paris. I remember when we went to... It's aesthetic? When we went to the Olympics, me and is, we went to, like, a cafe after we were done with, like, the day. And sitting outside, it was like 80 degrees, and I had a bog with a red wine.

Oh, man. Yeah? It's just, yeah, it feels different in Paris. You're just going to cross your elbow. That's a gorilla fingee right there. You got to be careful. Wee, we... But yeah, there's no way.

but I'll definitely have a lot. You're going to have to. I'm good. Vapes are allowed. Vapes are loud? Just as in Chino. Bro, if I hit your vape right now, it would like feel like my lungs were combustible.

Kinzo? Wednesday at 6 o'clock? That's probably we have to do. I could get down with that. See? Yes, a nice local area. Yes. 10 minutes away.

Yeah, let's go to Kinzo. You in? Yeah. 90. Yeah, Kinso, man. Wednesday, 6. Peterman just texted me. He said, we got it.

Caniscom? And the boy? Obviously, right? Well, if she comes, he has to come. Well, because I'm going to have to see if there's room for seven then. He is very good in public. He doesn't really... No, no, dude, he's welcome.

Of course. But he doesn't like, he's not like those babies that you're like, come on, bro. Like, he doesn't cry. No, I don't know. All right. It says here the karma isn't worried. I kind of saw a clip about it. What was he playing age of empire or shit?

Like, look, if he's playing, playing age of empire. Dude, I've been watching Dave and play the shit. I heard it when we were losing a phase in AW. But I mean, as much as I fuck with Ernie and them, I mean, they've definitely been like on point. Like, whatever the fuck they're doing together, they got a little system figured out, but I definitely think we can beat him.

System is overload. I mean, yeah, if you barely won the fucking overload. Bro, just think about his brain matter. See, that's why. But this game's so bad. I'll let him finish. We actually got scan. We got like owed on SCAR.

We actually should have fucking tied the game. Literally like picture perfect scenarios and they spawn on the A point instead of like P2. Literally picture perfect. And because one person spawned on the A point, they squad spawned. It was so fucking brain dead. It was already like halfway through P5. Yeah, at the Hummer. Like they shouldn't have spawned there.

Like maybe like one guy or two guys, but like the squad spawned. I don't know what the fuck that was. We did go. Deaden they fucking, bro, we team need, we team need, get a point. Fucking scrap kills, and somehow, P2, they get a point for 1 v1. Pretty much lost to every, like, both overloads by one. I mean, they were good fucking maps. Like, I don't think either team was even close to losing an overload, like, before the finals.

I said, that one was 4-1, but it was pretty fucking close. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure he three-balled him with the Pills. still. But yeah, you get headshot. I mean, yeah. Call duty's just like... And we were catching momentum too. That's how I know some bullshit. Like,

we should have won this car. Straight up. Yeah. But dude, like the way we're losing, it's like... It's just people are so like overreactive and caught all the time. It's like, dude, we're right there every single time. It's just

little things. Like, that spawn fucks us. it's just always always something man our time will come it will come but yeah Damon's hilarious Damon's a gamer dude I'll tune into him like he'll be on at like 2 a.m

and he'll just be playing some random shit I respect that Damon's hilarious and he has a little friend group on every game he's got I can't believe his brain hasn't been warped by competing yeah because I can't like what I just watched would like

I could play that game for 30 seconds check my phone like my my attention span has gone. It's not stimulating. Unless I'm competing, it's just hard for me to really stay into it. That's what I was saying.

Think about his brain matter that he's cool. Instead of watching a show or instead of doing anything else, he's like clicking, building and planting, which I guess Minecraft, but,

hey, well, what would you play Minecraft? You're going to be doing that? Yeah. I'm so, it depends what game it is. I can't just get on. What game was that even?

Age of Empires or science. It's like a game from, that game's got to be. a decade old, bro. You know what's crazy about that is like I don't know who I was talking to the thing Peterman, but we were talking about how like I play video games with my,

like I play Call of Duty specifically, Warzone specifically with my friends from home and like I'll hear them like having a fucking really good time and I'm like, I'm like yo like man you guys missed it man you're playing the worst Call of Duty that has ever been developed ever. All of the dope shit that happened in Call Duty 2,

Call 3 4 and subsequent like e-sports development like they missed it man. They missed all the good shit. They missed it. And they're, like, having such a good time in this game. And I'm like, man. Ignorance is bliss, man. Yeah.

Our minds are tainted. Yeah. Our minds will never be able to, like, play cod for face value ever again. I mean, really, any game. We'll never be able to play any game just, like, turn the brain off and just, I mean, single-player games are different. I'm saying more like multiplayer. But, yeah, competing for so long. And I'm excited for Wolverine.

That game looks sick. Wolverine? Wolverine, yeah. Yeah, that spawns pretty. Oh wait, no, this is not it. This was not the spawn. Does someone rip ass? No, it wasn't me.

No. One might have squeaked out of me. Damn. I mean, I don't know. She just loose. But yeah, this wasn't the spawn. Are you sure? Are you sure you didn't rip ass?

Me? I'm smelling. Might be your upper lip, champ. That's disgusting, now. When's the last time you... That is not... What am I? eating sausages and just rubbing it on my head.

We're going to make some CDL picks here for this weekend's league matches. I'll kick it off. Go to Map 2, please.

I like these map 2. So we're playing against Minnesota. Nasty at 5.5. I'm looking for the 5 and a halfs here. Afro. He's been shooting. He has been. Yeah, thieves have been looking too good

for my liking here. I don't mind that pick, though. But it's S&D, though, you know, it's like he can pop off one of them walking two. I'll take scraps over S&D. Six and a half. Just give me Niams map three more, whatever it is.

That's what I want. Neum is insane at overload Yeah, give me... No, he said map three, right? Yeah, give me map three, Neum more. Don't even care what the line is. Jesus, give it to me. Versa Austin, though?

What if they just steam roll? Yeah, they're probably just gonna destroy them. I mean, overload, though, they'd have to get eight... I'll take maps one, two, three. They'd have to be getting super... And then give me more on Dashie. Ooh, you might have took the words right out of my mouth. Bersie's been in his bag.

Let's go to map two again, please, really? That's he's now known as Old Faithful. Mountain Buckets. I would like to do Hook more map two. Six and a half kills. You can give me scrap. I feel like Kyler's been in his S&D bag recently.

Or S&D map two. Yep. That's cash. I like it. I like it. That's cash? Yeah, I hope. That's for sure cash.

That was like off. That was so fast too. Nobody played around. That was like everyone already knew what they wanted. That's cash. That was decisive. That's like four, that's four gimmies from our minds. You know what I'm saying?

No, I'm saying, like, I couldn't. I'm not a social butterfly like that. Like, I need somebody. I'm sure there's someone I know there, but I need somebody that I know to, like, get me comfortable. Then I'm good. 33 million views. Not talk to him for him. Not talk to him for me, but just have someone that I can, like, bounce off of and be my.

33 million views. That's it? No, these views are, uh, these videos he does are awesome. So is this all like a green screen? Like, is he just like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. How many owls do you have to see in a day? Hmm.

This is real. It has to be. Can you turn it up a little around? Ooh. Not an owl. Pull the door. Bro, what the fuck. What is it?

This is your last semester. Some people are going to come back. Yeah, I wonder how many applications get submitted for that. Everyone. Oh, 3.23 million. I was crazy about. Brian, it's seen him out. Jesus.

Should we go teach a class, how to trap? I'd be down. Called duty class? No, how to trap. What do you know about that? Yeah, you would not be an attendant, buddy. You better take a seat in the student section. I don't know that.

All right. Yeah, it's going to be crazy. He's coming back. this is what got me hyped that MW4 DMZ that's the extraction right it's third person right no it's not

it's just the theater that's just the theater oh that was just the are you sure yes it looked third person okay fine yes you're right Zini I'm just talking

I mean too man I'm sorry man I apologize I mean bro DMZ like all the gameplay What's DMZ isn't DMZ the extraction one Yeah bro it looked good

when they were in the city and like he ducked down as the two cars We're driving by He dragged him out Yeah that show's dope as fuck I thought But the idea was like, it was cool when it first came out and nobody played that shit.

I don't know. I don't know why I got hype about it. I think that's the first one I'm ever going to fight. Trailer, they do such a good job. I can't hate on it until I try it. Bro, it's just so hard to compete with like the already established extraction shooters. Like, if you're going to compete with like Tarkov, for instance, they have to have such a good product. And I just don't know if whatever happened to that other one.

Or graders Yeah uh cheaters cheaters cheaters cheaters came in and absolutely gutted it yo this map this literally looks like a tarcov map

like it's called interchange I watched this trailer and I was like yo no I'm saying this this map looks like interchange in tarcov it's just a big mall wait this is I mean why don't you have like the mode Zini is right

this isn't first person is it Does this look first person? The whole thing's in third person. I mean, I guess this is first person, Zinnie. But it does look like third person. It's like helmet. The helmet? Yeah, helmet cam.

But the thing with extraction shooters that I just don't trust call of duty to do is for it to hit, like you want it to hit, you have to be afraid to lose your stuff. It's got to have great stuff. And I just don't know if they're going to execute that the right way. Like you have to have items in the game that are. worth money, you have to have a good market system. You have a good quest line. It seems like the new Infinity Award team

is pretty tapped in though. Like they're doing like a documentary series. They seem very receptive. Yeah, but bro, how many times when we said that? Yeah, I mean, we'll see. That's how I feel. We're hopeless romantics about Call of Duty, man. That's the end of it. That's the bottom line.

We just fucking hope for the best. It's like literally every year it's like, hopefully this year. I finally stop saying it. Hold on. Hold on. Yeah, same. I'm getting to that. I'm gonna play it though. Where it's like, bro, how many times can you cry a wolf and tell I'm like, these motherfuckers ain't? So that means there's AI enemies? The more stars you earn throughout a deployment, the more vicious your pursuers will be?

Well, yeah, all extraction games have an AI element. Yeah, you have to. Yeah, my only experience with these types of games is watching some peanut. That's it. Haven't played any of these really. Actually, we played, uh... Arc Raiders? No. What's the, what's the other one that we played?

Delta Force? We played that tournament. Was it Delta Force? No, that was good. That looked good. That game? I was awful. See, like, yeah, like Delta Force, for instance, that game is actually, like, they did a good job.

There's loot. The maps are cool. Like, there's hotspots on the map with better loot. The market system's good. I just don't trust Call of Duty to be able to execute all of that the right way. I think they need to super lean into the fact that it is an extraction. And I can just see them having some roundabout way where people can still have their loot or something. You know what I'm saying?

Like, they need to fully embrace the fact that you lose it, you lose it. It needs to be a full-on, like, extraction shooter experience. And that's, listen to me. And I know I sound like I'm probably being a hater right now. But I wish nothing more than for Call of Duty to clutch the fuck up and have a good extraction mode because if they did, it would be so gas. Yeah. But it has to hurt.

Maybe this year's the year. It has to hurt. It has to hurt. It has to traumatize you. Like, you have to go to sleep thinking about what you lost. so that you can wake up the next day, fucking motivated to get it back. And I don't know if they are going to like...

Nah. It's too... Everybody should win. Everybody should have a for salo, man. I'm not sneezing on you. It's right in the elbow. But obviously, this is going to be like a separate mode. We're still going to have multi and shit, so...

Yeah. Doesn't hurt. Doesn't hurt. Hopefully they do it well. I think it could be dope. Mm-hmm. World Cup visitors complaining that the U.S. stadiums have no soul.

They don't. I mean, welcome. Yeah, welcome. Welcome. And they're also not able to keep up with the amount of people. Like, they keep saying that the U.S. is ready for the FIFA World Cup and like the Columbia game. Did you see that? There was people.

Yeah, but I have to assume it's probably crazy at other countries too, right? Bro, look across the street how fucking nuts it is right now. Is that Alan? They got to go to a game of AT&T Stadium. Yeah, I mean. Wait, that looks fire I think that's T, is that TCU? That's Allen.

That's Allen high school. What? Wait, they have that big of a stadium? Oh yeah. Yo, high school football on Texas is crazy. You should go to one. I mean, yo, if you have high school here and you watch us,

didn't, I think, Tyler Murray, somebody went to Allen, like, really? It might have been Kyler. Kyler Murray, who has played. That is a high school stadium. It's a third.

That's crazy. That's like a, obviously it's not going to be college because they have unlimited funds, but... 60 mil to build a stadium. Our team... For high school? Ours was much smaller. Our high school team used to run out.

All hype. Ah, plant the flag in the middle and get fucking destroyed. Yeah, no, I don't agree with that tweet. Some of the stadiums are awesome. Yeah, I don't know. Like, sofi? Look at this. Come on.

Sofi is going to be awesome. Relax. Relax. Yeah, so far is dope. not MetLife. It's like, yeah, listen,

when you come here, you enjoy that AC, right? Even if it's cold, don't open to enjoy that AC. I think it. MetLife has the finals, right?

Oh, it should have been like so far or something. Damn, look at that fucking stadium. This, yeah, we were,

I stayed right across the street from there. Yeah, we were right there. I don't want to see that stadium ever again once in my life. Which one? Mercedes-Benz.

Why? You're still in like Atlanta? Yeah. Don't set me up. Okay. Take it back. This and taking your beer back to your seat. There's nothing like it.

Yeah, wait. There hasn't even been a game yet. So what are they talking about? They have no soul. How can you say it has no soul and still you? I don't think they're talking about NFL stadiums. No. Well, I think they're all at NFL stadiums, right?

No, well, there's Sweden's going to be across the street. You're going? At Dallas FC? Really? Yeah. You're going? So all you single men, you know where to go. What?

You going? No. Edgar, I'm pretty sure Edgar came into the YouTube chat and said... He's got us on tickets? Yeah. For World Cup? Mr. Porras? World Cup would be a sick game to go to.

Who's, isn't England playing here? Isn't soon at AT&T? We should just look up to see who's playing across the street. That'd be the easiest thing to do. Well, that's the friendly match, though. That's not like the actual World Cup across the street. No, I think it's like practice facility more of it. And anyone's welcome to show up.

Spain's World Cup training grounds are a high. school in Chattanooga. America's a joke, the high school in question. It's like Hogwarts. The fuck of you all right. Look how beautiful that looks. What are you talking about? Get me out there with my boat.

A bag full of bandito bugs. Look at that water. It doesn't even look real. Can you look up how it looks? That's right. That shit's crystal light blue. That looks like fucking that. Yeah,

looks like blue ice skating. On a hot day. What are they talking about? Ice cold. Lionel Messi and Argentina practice in Jordan Hare's Stadium. my head of exhibition against Iceland. Who's favored to win the World Cup this year? Spain, I think.

Spain or France? Yeah, France. Yeah. I think Spain and France are like the fun of-Hunders. If the Simpsons are right, it's going to be a Portugal versus Mexico final. And they're always right. They somehow are always. They're time travelers.

Oh, I'm going for sure. I've got to sing that anthem. I've got to represent it. I mean, this is, this is Messi's last World Cup. So any of his games. Bro, tell me why I tell my pop, I'm like, yo, let's go to a game. Pick it. anyone you want.

He said, and I'm thinking we're gonna go to Mexico. Wait, yeah, when does it start? This weekend, this is Friday. This one's 11th, I think. Oh, shit. Hell yeah. This, tomorrow.

See, like, I don't watch soccer, but this is, this is fun to watch. That's next week, that's next week. That's next week. Just like, the nationalities all going against each other. Everyone's rooting for their country. It's fire. Wait, when's the inauguration, right?

That's what we're looking for. England, Croatia, and then Argentina. Wait, go down, Riley, please? Wait, what is this for us? This is all in Dallas. Okay. Argentina. So what game we go?

Yeah, dude, I'm down to go to all of them. I feel like the most lit out of these would be England, Croatia, and then Argentina. Or the semifinal. Yes, definitely the semifinal. The semifinal will be July 14th. We'll be, actually, that's right before we leave for Vegas the next day. So we could technically go. To which ones of the Jordan?

The same final. We leave July 15th. Come back to 20th. Oh. Wow. So it's like, it's like Paris and then week and a half, then champs. Then three weeks later, EWC, right? August 5th, I believe. And then

that's it for the Black Ops 7th season. I know we always say it, but I feel like this year has felt like the fastest year in terms of like the CDLs. How much our tickets? Less events, I think. What was it? Four, five last year? The same amount of events, right? How much our tickets for?

Were there five last year? The semi-final rally. You looked at up there? Because we had four. Like, I'm saying majors. Less year was same thing. Four majors, champs, EWC.

So same as this year? Yeah. The year before that was five? Because the year before this one Dreamhack first stepped in, right? Because I usually look at the season. I usually like,

just look at the regular season just because champs is one weekend. EWC is one weekend. Yeah, so it's like. Harris to Champs is going to fly by. Yeah. It's the one on July 14th.

Yeah, I feel like this year is also kind of weird because there's not really a champs race, which kind of sucks. Yeah, I agree. Like last year, during the last split, at least we had the champs race and the matches were, like, exciting. This year, it's like, you're playing obviously

for your major final major seating, but... And that's for the nosebleeds. 5,000? Is this for the semifinal? 2,000? You need binoculars up there. You're watching on your phone. Oh, yeah.

Well, you know how this goes. there's about two three options yeah i don't go i'll be on the couch yeah sorry pot the more i see the prices of everything the more i'm like my tv is fantastic i got my couch my 85 inch the bathroom's three steps behind me i got my pantry my fridge it's like this is how could you beat this you're huge it's just unbeatable page page was saying that it's so annoying because we're all of us are only moved by food anywhere we're going we're like

what's the food like everything that we do is surrounded by food and I say what the fuck is wrong with that everyone got to eat yeah look can we eat eat everyone got to eat what else is there to do like like you know like what are the movies museums yeah like museums

I mean I have a good beverage old shit right it's not new no more I'm okay with museums it's just I finish them way quicker than the party I'm usually with because once I see something I don't need to stare at it I'm like oh that painting's cool I move on You process. So I'm right through.

Norway getting used to the sunny in the United States ahead of the World Cup. Oh, they're probably getting... That, bro, they probably love that shit. Oh, my God. It's just... You're breathing. You feel like you're in a parmesan?

Florida, yeah. Florida is fucking... They're looking up. Like, what the fuck. Look at everyone. They're tanning. They're like, oh, shit, we might get a tan right now.

There he is. Fucking beast. Who's he played for? Bro, look, he's got his fucking toes crossed. He's like this with his toes. How? How old is Laminia Mall? 18 or 19?

He's 20 now or 19? That kid's living life. Bro, but he's such a fucking prick, dude. Is he like that? Yeah, he's a fucking prick. Why? Bro, he's just disrespectful as fuck. I'd be way worse, I promise.

Well, that's not, that's something. You wouldn't. If I was Laminia Mall. No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't. Hell yeah. No, because when you're at that level, you've got to act a certain way.

I say, give me a res of Charles. Now, wow. What? Well, because he's such a good fucking player. I was watching him and I'm like, man, I couldn't believe how fucking good this kid is. And then he's not, he's like, they're lined up and, you know, Ronaldo's walking by to shake everybody's hand and he like ignores Rinaldo and shit. Hell yeah. You're wrong.

You're so wrong. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, you would never do that. I would be like that. No. Bows, what you think? You think he would be like that?

What, ignore Rinaldo? Yeah. Are you crazy? Anyway, he was just thinking like, and he is, bro. Like, he is that good. He is that good. Mr. Rinaldo. You got to show respect, though.

That's fucking Ronaldo. Like, you're still at the start of your career. Yeah, that's all. That motherfucker did it and he did it. Big Tom. You could break your ankle next year. Yeah. And then boom.

I mean, all that's good. God forbid, of course. I'm wishing ill and no one. But yeah, like I really liked him as a player. And then I started seeing like literal, you know how they have like all those moments where they capture LeBron line? They have that like him being a fucking prick to people. Really? I haven't seen that.

Like to fans and too. It's just not good, man. Yeah, I haven't seen either. It's a damn shame. He's getting paid. Oh, yeah. Oh. He's got the Super Mac.

That's not getting paid. What is it, Riley? Look at it. La mean Y-M-A-M-A-L. L-A-M-A-L. Y-M-A-L. Yamal. Salary.

Let me see. Let's pocket watch really quick. Yeah, we're going to be like, yeah, I'd be a prick too, I guess, actually. Seth, you know who Dragba is? Mm-hmm. I've heard the name. Wait, this is Ronaldo, dude. Oh.

43 million and that's this year and he's 19 or 20 years old. Damn. Good year. Yeah. Great year. I'll tell you what, bro. Some people have some dope-ass names in this world. 18.

That's how you get a yacht. Le Mienia ball. He's got to be 19 when he plays. You get paid 43 million a year. You take... He's 18? You take 20 mil of that. Just throw it in a compound interest.

Good? G-G. Yeah, Gigi. Well, hold on. Yo, Riley. He looks like? Hold on. He's the same weight as me. What does he look like? Who's the same weight as you? Laminia Mall. He's 5'10 and the same height? No, I'm 5'8s. I got two less inches. Do a calculator real quick. Do 20 million compound

interest over like 20 years. I just want to see what it looks over over 20 years. I got high body fat. Whatever the percentage is right now. Wait, what is it? What is it? What do you say? Like a compound interest. Of what? 20 million over 20 years. I just want to see what it looks like. Just type in SMP on it. Just tell us. essentially two million a year, 10% of 20. I don't think you get 10%. It's like seven? Well, it depends what you're doing.

4.4 is the conservative like amount you could make if you put it in a... That's like a high yield account, though. 20 million. That is too many euros. Oh, yeah, you have to fucking... Do 8%. Whoa.

Yeah, you get 8% per year? Very nice. You're living in a good economy. 20 years, you'll have 53. And that's how you get a yacht. Well, fuck a yacht. Bass boats, baby. We're there to suffer.

If we're going to get on the boat on the water, we're there to suffer until we catch a fish. What would you do? Choose two perks to permanently apply to your life. You can only pick two. Magic microwave. Whenever you press start, the microwave instantly creates the perfect meal. Holy fuck.

Okay. Yeah. Reset. Close your eyes, 10 minutes and your body and mindfully recover as you have. had a perfect, oh. That's big, though. Perfect. Because sleep's the most important thing. This is hard.

For humans, bro. If you're getting eight hours perfect sleep every night, I wonder what my life would look like. But in 10 minutes. So that means that you are fucking operating. You're just... I ain't gonna lie. I'm definitely clicking the reset.

Yeah. That's a no-brainer for me. I think it's magic microwave and reset. Yeah, I might be, honestly. Same. Same. Shit, I might need the wardrobe wizard, though.

No, you're good, dude. I wouldn't mind the wardrobe wizard either. I ain't gonna lie. Clean sweep? No, I'm not dirty, though. No, I'm not dirty, though. I'm good. I don't even see it down there.

I'm good. I don't need it. I am clean sweep. Is the button in front of you different? This is a different question? Yeah, I'll go magic microwave and reset, to be honest. Same. All right, that's a unanimous fucking food and food and rest.

All right, you have a button in front of you, if you press it, every time you hit 10,000 steps in a day, you get $5,000. But every time you get under 10,000 steps, you lose 5K. Do you press the button? I'm slamming that button, 100%. That's all I'm doing.

You go for a walk every day. Walking all day. So you're telling me that I, that I'm getting paid to get fucking shreds? I'd be walking around the house just bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. That'd be a dope. I would get a fucking treadmill in the living room

and just... Live there? Play there? Yes, pretty much. You wouldn't. 10,000 steps. Nothing. It's three miles.

Yeah, that's an hour, an hour a day. The answer to number two is very easy. You can multiply any number in your life by 10. What are you multiplying? Hype. Well, height would be absurd. Now I'm Godzilla. Wait, what are you saying?

That's a literal. Hight would be absurd. Now I'm Godzilla. Okay. I'm 60 feet tall. I'm six stories tall now. Or the shares of Nvidia. Wait, wait, wait, let me see this.

Hite bank account, vacation time. Well, if you do your bank account, you have unlimited vacay time. You don't got to do another. Number of languages you can speak. Fuck that. I got chachapit. On your bank account. Yeah, I'm doing the 10x

the bank account. That's a no-brainer. And the answer to the third question is most certainly no. It doesn't give a fuck how blind they are. They can smell me. You get one million tax-free, but you have to sit in a room

with two hungry blind tigers. Wait, what? You get one million tax-free, but you have to sit in a room. Five hours is crazy, though. They're going to find it. No, it'll only take 30 seconds for you to die. They would destroy you in milliseconds.

Yeah, I'm not risking that. No, I'm good. Fuck that. 10 million. No, I'm not, there's no point. The conversation's a little bit longer, we're talking. It's guaranteed death. It's guaranteed death.

Hungry blind tigers for five hours. It doesn't matter the number. It's like life. But they're blind. Five hours is crazy. If it was like 30 minutes. 10 million. But they're blind?

You could just pretend. They could smell you. They could smell you. Can you Google how the tiger's smell span? How, like, how far they can smell you? You know what I mean. The thing is this, are you ready? It's probably pretty.

How far away can a tiger smell you? My. No, no, but you're in a room. But this is the thing, though. Like, if it was one tiger, I would do it. If it's two, I don't know. Because with one, you can just piggyback ride them. You know what I'm saying?

Like, you hop in his back and you hug him as hard as you can. Right here. And just choke him out? No, you're not choking or just holding up. Dear life. What's he got to do with scratch you? You can lock them up. You're not going to be able to.

Who? You're not going to be able to hold on to a tiger. Bro, it's not a fucking bronco. Or a fucking bull. I don't know. It's a fucking tigie. Well, no, it says they rely almost entirely on vision and hearing. So I just wouldn't move.

I'd be there like this. You are fucked. You are fucked. It is a cat. It's a 2,000 pound cat. You're fucked. No, you can't see me fucking going and hopping on his back right here like this. You just hold on.

It don't need to see you. It could just spin in circles. It could just do one of these. Bro. No, I'm holding on. This move. You are not holding on. not holding onto a tiger.

If you're holding on to his neck like this. You are not, if you want to do is grab hair, no. He can't. He doesn't have a postable thumb. You're crazy, bro. What do you think? If you jump in the back of a tiger and just... You are getting blind.

A blind mold. On the back of his neck, hugging him. So you're essentially like, have your, you're just holding on. My head's on top of his. Dog, have you seen what cats can do? Yeah. You know how flexible? those fuckers are? He could probably...

You're flexible. I don't know if the cats are flexible as you. I think that tiger is flipping me over and going to town. That's why I fuck with cats because they're like the most perfectly engineered animals on the earth. No, they're not. Dogs are bad. Made for killing. They got it all. Perfect, perfect spines.

They got murder mits. Put team dog in the chat. They got fangs, bro. Cats are... They're fired, bro. Murder men. Look like that. He can get to you. That'd be me right there. I'm a monkey. See, that's chill right there.

Yeah, now imagine you're just hugging them. I mean, obviously, and... All right, no, no, no, Riley, look up angry, uh, look up an angry Siberian tiger. I mean, that's a machine. Bro. Well, I want to see it. I don't believe it.

What, you think, you think I'm scared of a tiger? You would be. No, look up a video. These don't do shit. Yeah, oh, cool. I'll get a tattoo of that. Yeah, it's cool. But I'm not scared.

It's the coolest animal on the earth. It's not. It's not close. Take your time, Riley. Yeah, video. The king wants to see the Siberian tiger video. I just want you to... No, I just want you to see what you'd be up against.

No, I know what I'd be up against. That's not an angry one. A fucking cougar will fuck me up. A mountain lion. Bro, you're talking about a tiger. Bro, its head is... It's head is your chest. This is how big his head is, dude.

Like this. Which is why, like, you could... Brother. You're fucked. You're so fucked. Look at its fangs. You are so fucked. I'm behind his fangs.

I'm not in front of his fangs. Would you pet a friendly one? Yeah. A baby? A baby, yeah. A big one. Is he muzzled? Bro, look at the size of him.

Look at the size of the door. Oh, well, but look at the fucking lion, bro. Oh my God. Tigers are bigger than lions. Oh, yeah? Prove it right now. Okay, this one's pissing. Yeah, I'd be pissing.

This is AI. This is AI. Oh, no, it's not a eye. I'd be pissed too I'm trying to I'm trying to piss brother Stop swiping me

Yeah I saw that Bro right there Oh my God And he's just That's like your cat Doing this Yeah

You are so dead bro You're so dead Wait What Was that Is that really The size difference

Between a tiger And a lion Tigers are bigger Tigers are big Right there they weren't, though, is what I'm saying. Siberian tigers is the biggest cat on the earth. I don't even think it's close. But we just saw a video where there was two.

Yeah, but that's a regular tiger. That's a regular tiger. It felt like the lion's head was like half the body of the... Well, that one might have been like... AI. That's what I was saying. Maybe say aye, because the lions look massive. They looked at size of the door.

Go back, Riley? While you do that? You see the size? Like, no one else is fucking questioning this? I mean, they did look huge. Yo, you know what's fire, though? I get, like, hella, like, TikToks and shit. Instagram's about, like, cats.

Cheetahs in the wild, they don't attack people. They're like house cats. They'll come up to you and, like, purr and shit in Maui. That's kind of sick. I mean, obviously, if you piss it off, but. If you're just chilling. You know, you're not allowed to communicate with dolphins. Or, yeah, but that's fucked up.

That's fucked up. Yeah, that's fucked up. Wait, what do you mean? You're not allowed to train or communicate with dolphins on your own. Yeah, bro. Why not? The same way that you're not allowed to do that with crows. Wait, Siberian tigers.

You're not allowed to have a pet crow or befriend. Why can't you talk to a dolphin? Because they're smart. And they'll tell you what they've seen. They'll learn too much? No, you will learn too much. You will. Is it possible to communicate with a dolphin?

Yeah. Like a back and forth? Like, hey, what's up? I'll tell you right now. I'll tell you right now. I'll tell you. Like, hey, what's good, bro? Dolphins like, what's good, bro.

Can a human communicate with a dolphin? A dolphin's like- What's up, you fucking pussy? That's how you talk to your tragic? No, that's what the dolphin would talk to me. You meet octopus? Yeah, the octopus. At the aquarium of the Pacific in Monterey,

who reached in and took the pen. I will not eat the octopus. But surely these are all the paradoxes that we live in. Like you could have... No, because I never had a conversation with a lamb. I watched. It put a tentacle up. It went around my wrist like this,

and it held for a few seconds. It let go, and then it immediately, with another arm, reached up for the pin in my pocket, which had been established from a previous visit. It fucking remember. I was so messed up from that. Like I said in my book,

I literally like, excuse me, everybody, I need to go to the bathroom. I went to the bathroom and cried like an actual baby for 20 minutes, because that freaking animal remembered me. Yeah. And it changed everything for me. Why do you have to bring up octopus and lamb at the same damn time?

I think because you're reckoning with the morality of your decision to... I didn't like this episode. We decide... We decide. This guy freaked me out. Who? Yeah, he... Yeah, he...

Wait, what is this? It's the last meal series from Mythical Kitchen. It's like your death row meal. Oh, okay. So, like, you pick your death row meal, and they have, like, great chefs make everything for you. It's like an interview. It's a super dope series. It's like amazing.

Strawberry. My mom's Chipotle burritos. She makes this shredded beef stew inside of this Chipotle sauce. It's got a little bit of onion, refried beans, tortilla for dessert. I would have another one of those burritos.

Okay. That's a bit of a cop out. Okay, I'll make it up. Cheesecake, but 90% of it is crust and 10% of it is the... And what's your appetizer? All graham cracker crust? My appetizer? Beef tartar.

Beef tartar from fucking the Charles. Oh. With that crem fresh. Goodness. With the horse ratty? Oh. Oh, man. I would have to go...

Chicken pot. A great fried calamari. Chicken parma. Chicken parm. Chicken parm. And then for dessert. Fried calamari? And then four Charles, which is, if anybody can get me in a four Charles again, I'll do anything.

Which one? At the Spanish spot? I remember everything that we ate there. It was like, it was like a watermelon with feta cheese and balsamic. Yeah. Oh,
